It also means you no longer need the kludge that is NAT. Full E2E connectivity is really nice – though I’ve found some network admins dislike this idea because they’re so used to thinking about it differently or (mistakenly) think it adds to their security.

eclipse ,

IMO they shouldn’t have allowed ULA as part of the standard. There’s no good reason for it.

Hurricane Electric have a free tunnel broker that is super simple to set up if you really want to get on the bandwagon.

Though honestly I’d say the benefits of setting it up aren’t really worth the trouble unless you’re keen.

I can potentially see that scenario if your transit provider is giving you a dynamic prefix but I’ve never seen that in practice. The address space is so enormous there is no reason to.

Otherwise with either of RADVD or DHCPv6 the local routers should still be able to handle the traffic.

My home internal network (v6, SLAAC) with all publicly routeable addresses doesn’t break if I unplug my modem.

eclipse ,

This article is biased to selling you more F5 equipment but is a reasonable summary:

f5.com/…/the-myth-of-network-address-translation-…

Long story short is that NAT is eggshell security and you should be relying on actual firewall rules (I wouldn’t recommend F5) instead of the implicit but not very good protections of NAT.

eclipse ,

Given how large the address space is, it’s super easy to segregate out your networks to the nth degree and apply proper firewall rules.

There’s no reason your clients can’t have public, world routeable IPs as well as security.

Security via obfuscation isn’t security. It’s a crutch.

eclipse ,

I might be misunderstanding. It’s definitely possible to have as many IPv4 aliases on an interface as you want with whatever routing preferences you want. Can you clarify?

I agree with your stance on deployment.

eclipse ,

I agree. GeoIP was never a good idea, but here we are. Any ASN could be broken up and routed wherever (and changed) but it’s still far too prevalent.

eclipse ,

Honestly, these days I have no idea. When I said “wouldn’t recommend” that wasn’t an assertion to avoid; just a lack of opinion. Most of my recent experience is with Cloud vendors wherein the problem domain is quite different.

I’ve had experience with most of the big vendors and they’ve all had quirks etc. that you just have to deal with. Fundamentally it’ll come down to a combination of price, support requirements, and internal competence with the kit. (Don’t undermine the last item; it’s far better if you can fix problems yourself.)

Personally I’d actually argue that most corporates could get by with a GNU/Linux VM (or two) for most of their routing and firewalling and it would absolutely be good enough; functionally you can do the same and more. That’s not to say dedicated machines for the task aren’t valuable but I’d say it’s the exception rather than rule that you need ASICs and the like.

I feel like I’m the exact opposite of what this article proposed however the entire thing confuses me.

I’m not rich but relatively well off, and, without doubt in the best financial position of my immediate group of friends.

If I happen to be the one that picks up the bill I often have people chasing me to pay me. I actually think that is a problem because they feel obliged to do the right thing, however I’m unmotivated because I don’t care about the outcome – I don’t need the money. This is my fault and I feel poorly for it but the reality is that after I’ve had a nice evening I don’t really care. In terms of the debt: honestly I probably wouldn’t bother asking.

The very concept of asking someone for 4 bucks seems abhorrent to me. To be clear, I say this personally; I’m not struggling to pay rent/mortgage/utilities/whatever. If you’re in a position where those are concerns then please absolutely follow up.

Chasing a $4 debt won’t make you rich, ever. Even if you do it all the time. Anyone well off chasing this kind of cash is deluding themselves.

Generally speaking my friends and I operate over a long term fairness principle. “Bob got the last round, I’ll get the next”; they won’t be even but our assumption is that it’ll balance in the long term. That applies to more than just the pub.

I used Netscape “back in the day”. With some interim transition attempts including the likes of Opera, I eventually switched to Chrome because it was genuinely more featureful and faster.

I was a happy Chrome user until they decided to deprecate manifest V2 and fuck up my ad blocker, at which point I switched to Firefox and haven’t looked back.

Everything in this industry is circular I guess.

My problem is with the influence that a hostile foreign state actor has with TikTok.

Google is an independent company; I’m 99% certain their motivation is to make money and I’m confident their algorithms are tailored purely for engagement and profit. Whilst I’m sure they have some back room deals with US intelligence organisations I suspect that it’s a case of providing data vs providing influence (though I would not rule it out).

TikTok is controlled by the Chinese government. That’s not up for debate; if you have an entity in China it has to work that way. Imagine the damage they could do if they actively decided to increase, for example, messages of reunification with Taiwan in their algorithm by just 1% on a global scale. That frightens me and I’m not convinced it isn’t happening already on specific topics of concern to China’s foreign policy.

And that’s putting aside the amount of data that the Chinese are getting without even exerting any influence. They can likely discern worldwide sentiment on a range of topics and adjust political posture accordingly.

I’m not saying Google is perfect. I hate social media in general for the way it’s warping the zeitgeist. But I personally consider TikTok to be a huge threat to the world.

The US seems to have this weird obsession with SMS and iMessage.

Why is it apparently cool and fine for insurance companies to spend countless billions, trillions of our money constantly buying ad time?

On every single professional sports game I’ve ever seen, every single show, every single channel. Isn’t this our fucking money you’re meant to give out should, god forbid, something happen?...

I’ll just go cancel my universal health care now.

I’m assuming you’re in the US.

Do non profit or cooperative insurance companies exist? They would seem like a less evil option if available.

Insurance is a scam

I don’t see any fundamental difference in this context. A group of individuals pay into a communal fund and access it when in need.

Some take more than others, but everyone has a safety net to access.

You could argue about premiums and co-pays but the model is the same. The only difference is whether it is taken out of taxes or paid directly.

I apologise if we are approaching this from different viewpoints and I am not understanding properly.

If the cast iron is well seasoned you’re fine.

The acid in the tomato will attack the coating you’ve developed but if you use it and season it regularly there is nothing to worry about.

The great thing about cast iron is even if you “wreck it” it’s pretty much always possible to fix.

As other comments have alluded to, a sharpening stone is a far better investment and only takes a half hour to learn.

Even if you do a bad job it’ll likely be a better result and better for your knives. Most sharpeners absolutely destroy knives and take far too much material off.

1000 grit is a good place to start.
